The Right Measure

Have you ever been closeBut couldn’t touch what you wanted?Have you ever been so farThat you couldn’t see what you needed?You can’t seem to get the measure of lifeIt’s either too much Or not enough

You realize that you never know the timeFor being where it’s atIt’s never quite the right momentTo make your moveIt’s either to hardOr too easy

You can’t decide while you watch Every wheel that turns The direction is not rightAnd neither is the paceIt’s either too fastOr too slow

Would you rather stitch with mossAnd bury yourself deep in the cityWhere the aimless are able to smile?Would you rather ignore the crossAnd bury yourself deep in pityWhere the rock is lost in the pile?

You look for another momentAnd say this time I willBut you don’t know how to actNor do you know how to loveIt’s either too deepOr too shallow

Have you ever been so nearThat you pushed someone away?Have you ever been so distantThat you hoped they would call?It’s either to closeOr too far

Would you rather stitch with mossAnd bury yourself deep in the cityWhere the aimless are able to smile?Would you rather ignore the crossAnd bury yourself deep in pityWhere the rock is lost in the pile?
